The news that former Congressman Anthony Weiner is going to run as a candidate in the New York City mayoral race is good. While his behavior a couple of years ago was not respectable, and it caused a great political firestorm, there are other politicians who have done far worse than him and are still in office.

Mr. Weiner is a strong advocate for the working and middle-class people of this city. We need somebody like him who will fight for the hardworking people of our city.

My very best wishes to him for success in his mayoral campaign. It is time for a major change in how the city of New York will be run.
